I can't say enough good things about this book. It was easy to read and follow. If you're homeschooling your kids, this book would be great for their required reading. In fact, I would recommend it to any parent or high school student. It's clear how much time and thought Tim Maurer put into creating a personal finance book with not only wonderful advice but actions to take to help you stick with managing your money.
